I apologize, but the guy shares a great class with everyone, and the comments have to do with a typo. It seems to me to be unfair. I love it when people comment, but holy cow, I love it more when it's about topic and not minutiae. - rjblaskiewicz Thu, 20 Sep 2012 13:28:56 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1843-teaching-the-history-of-pseudoscience.html#comment-25981 You got me. I let an "e" and an "n" slip through. Please accept my heartfelt apology and my kid sister as recompense. I do hope that the other 4,829 letters were to your satisfaction, you pedet. :) RJB - rjblaskiewicz Thu, 20 Sep 2012 13:05:47 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1843-teaching-the-history-of-pseudoscience.html#comment-25979 I'm even worse than you, Chris, because even errors in the comments annoy me! It's "...but [b]as[/b] a professional educator..." You also forgot a comma and period in that sentence. I agree though--the lack of editing these days is abysmal. :( - Stanfr Thu, 20 Sep 2012 03:44:02 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1843-teaching-the-history-of-pseudoscience.html#comment-25978 [b]@Chris Hunt[/b] Thank you for saving me the trouble of pointing that out. :) - daveg703 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 10:08:28 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1843-teaching-the-history-of-pseudoscience.html#comment-25977 This sounds like a very useful class. Higher education needs more discussion about critical thinking. - Ian Morris Wed, 19 Sep 2012 08:20:22 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1843-teaching-the-history-of-pseudoscience.html#comment-25976 [quote]students learn the tenants of the philosophy of science almost without realizing it.[/quote] How much rent do these tenants pay, and to whom do they pay it? And do the students ever get to pick up the [i]tenets[/i] of scientific philosophy? I wouldn't normally make snarky comments about such errors (well, OK, I would) but a professional educator you really ought to know the difference between "tenant" and "tenet" - Chris Hunt Wed, 19 Sep 2012 06:51:45 +0100
